[par]dillas escuras. Canta de noche. Canta cuatro o cinco veces cada noche. Es bueno de comer. No tiene grosura.
\nHay otra ave que se llama chiltotópil, y es colorado, como el de arriba dicho: pero no es de comer, ni tiene sangre. Tiene una manera de aguadija en lugar de sangre.
\nHay gorriones en esta tierra; pero difieren de los de España porque son algo menores, aunque también traviejos como los otros. Cantan muy bien, y críanlos en jaulas para gozar de su canto. Mudan las plumas cada año. Y los machuelos tienen unas plumas coloradas en el medio de la cabeza y en la garganta. Anda en los pueblos, y crían en los edificios. Y son buenos de comer. Y cázanlos con liga.
\nLos muchuelos destas aves se llaman cuachíchil. Llámanse ansí porque tiene parte de la cabeza colorada.
